Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015152781A1] The present disclosure relates to methods and network nodes of supporting load distribution from a source cell to a target cell in a wireless network using carrier aggregation. When performed in the source network node, the method comprises determining (S31) source traffic load and carrier aggregation properties of the source cell and receiving (S32), from a target network node, a load report comprising target traffic load and carrier aggregation properties for the target cell. Carrier aggregation capabilities of user equipments, UEs, served by the source cell are retrieved in the source network node. One or more UEs served by the source cell are selected (S33) for moving to the target cell based on a combination of the retrieved UE carrier aggregation capabilities and the carrier aggregation properties of the source cell and target cell.
